#Formula Renault 3.5 – Title goes to Wickens in dramatic finale

The final Formula Renault 3.5 Series race of the season could hardly have been more eventful. The eagerly awaited duel between Carlin team-mates and championship rivals Robert Wickens and Jean-Eric Vergne was cut short when they clashed at the start, with Wickens forced to retire. The Frenchman battled on, however, and was virtual champion before having to pull out himself just ten minutes from the end, allowing the Canadian to become the seventh man to win the FR 3.5 Series. Claiming the race victory – his first in the discipline – was home favourite Albert Costa.
